In Austin, brunch is a sport. Sundays are fundays and everyone knows you aren’t heading to brunch without the cutest outfit, greatest company and a Texas-sized appetite. If you’re hungover and hungry or just plain ready to nosh on some good food, you’ll want to visit these restaurants for brunch next time you go!

When it comes to healthy eating I like to abide by two words: easy & good.

I’m a busy woman and always find myself on the go, making my options feel like fast food or no food during the most hectic days. That being said, I have a few places I’ll stop for lunch if I know I have a long afternoon and evening ahead of me for my favorite meal — A superfood bowl. These Austin eateries offer the best superfood bowls around (and give you enough to where you can eat the leftovers for dinner to save yourself from cooking.)

If you ask me, there's nothing better than strolling through the farmer's market on a lazy Sunday morning with a pocket full of cash and hungry tummy! Some of my fondest summer memories take place at the Mueller Farmer's Market, which I used to attend weekly before brunching at Eastside Cafe and then lounging by the pool.

Austin has some of the best farmers markets there are, and with so many each day there's no reason you shouldn't go! Be sure to bring cash and a grocery bag with you when you go!

If you know me, you know I LOVE ME A GOOD TACO. Like I'm so close with tacos that one time I ate them 12 times in ONE week. You read that right. My empty post-ACL fridge was sad and El Chilantro is on the way home so I shamefully spent about $75 on tacos in a single week coming and going to work.

When I'm not grabbing a Cherrywood from El Chilito and bracing myself for a stomach ache from eating eggs and gluten, I'm likely grabbing a veggie breakfast taco with spinach and black beans on a corn tortilla from Tacodeli. Here are a few local favorites around town for you to try!

Every day is Taco Tuesday in Austin, and I'm a big supporter! You can't go wrong with any of the above eateries, and being adventurous is a must -- Try their specials and be sure to grab a yummy sauce since each restaurant has something completely different to add to your tacos!

When it comes to dating, I wouldn't call myself a pro. But when it comes to thinking up cute ideas of things to do around Austin, that's another story. I find dating to be particularly stressful (mostly because I'm a surprisingly messy eater, very clumsy, and hate being paid for) but I've had a few good dates around town.

Two years ago, I took myself to the 360 bridge for Valentine's day. This spot has always been a favorite of mine in Austin. I love how peaceful it gets when the cars stop rushing by. It's a great place to be alone with someone and get a chance to really know each other without the distractions of a restaurant, bar, or party. Instead of going up to the top of 360 Overlook, I always veer off onto the lower ledge about halfway up the trail. It's far more private, and you don't have to watch people snapping Instagram photos.

Appetizer Hopping

A few years ago, I skipped a date event and went on a culinary adventure with the friend I was taking out that night. It was easily one of my most memorable nights in the city! We went from one restaurant to the next, ordering an appetizer each at every restaurant. It's easiest to do this downtown so everything is within walking distance. My favorite places for appetizers are Peche, Second Bar + Kitchen, Italic, and Roaring Fork.

Zilker at Night

I remember the first time I stepped foot into Zilker park at night, and there's no other way to describe it than magical! It's pitch black in the park after the sun sets, and you can see the entire skyline lit up between a break in the trees surrounding the area. It's great for a romantic night of skyline gazing (since it's sometimes too bright for stars) on a picnic blanket! The fact that you're surrounded by complete darkness and can't see anyone else in the park makes you feel like you're alone in the middle of the city. Make sure you go before 10pm so you don't get kicked out!

East 6th + Barbs

If you're looking for something seriously fun to do on maybe a second or third date, this is a great way to let loose and get sweaty! I find drinking on East 6th preferable to anywhere else in Austin, because there's less pomp and circumstance that goes into it. My favorite East Side bars to visit are Yellow Jacket Social Club, Whisler's for craft cocktails, The Volstead for dancing, and Rhino Room for a game of connect four. For more ideas, take a look at my East Austin City Guide! Finish the night by taking a ride share to Barbarella, and dance all that alcohol out of your system.

AFS Cinema

Get your hipster on at AFS Cinema! This teeny tiny theater is owned by Richard Linklater and only offers around 2-4 movies on any given night. They serve candy, small bites, and alcohol, and the no-frills theaters are retro af! The red carpet, dim lighting, and lounge seating in the lobby make this theater an intimate, incomparable Austin find.

Day Trip to McKinney Falls

One of my all time favorite dates was a day at McKinney Falls State Park with someone I had just started seeing. The weather is perfect from March through October, and the park has multiple watering holes you can cool off at after hiking. I'm not a fan of getting to know people while sitting across the table for a typical dinner date, so I always jump on dates that involve hiking! Make an adventure out of it and grabs snacks, drinks, or picnic food to bring with you and eat while you're at the park.

These are just a few of my favorite things to do around the city (that don't revolve around drinking!) Whether you're out with the girls or just meeting someone special for the fist time, Austin's romantic scenery is the perfect place for something amazing to bloom.

How to Dress - Laid back clothes with an edgy twist. It's more than socially acceptable to show up at any bar in jeans and a cotton tee, but leather jackets and funky accessories are East Side favorites as well.

What to Bring - The two most important things you can bring to the East Side when visiting are a camera and an appetite! Home to my favorite walls in Austin, the area is perfect for snapping Instagram photos or shooting film. And the food is, well... Divine.
